we have got this weather front sitting close to the north of scotland, so that'll produce outbreaks of rain mainly for northern and westernthe south dominating the weather for most places. and, with that high pressure, we're drawing in winds in a south—westerly direction, so bringing the mild air and the orange colours really right across the uk. might be a bit of a chilly start for some southern and eastern parts of england first thing, the odd misty patch around. generally, the cloud will increase from the west through the day, but there will be some spells of sunshine for east anglia and the southeast, up towards eastern scotland, as well. still a bit of rain to come for the northwest of scotland, but the breeze blowing over the mountains is likely to create something called a foehn effect, lifting temperatures to around 17 celsius for aberdeenshire. widely 14—15 the top temperature — and compare that to the average temperature this time of year of only about nine celsius, so well above average. it'll be windy again particularly in the northwest, with gusts of wind about 40 mph, but lighter winds further south. so thro

now, as the great western train crossed the junction in front of the tunnel, it was struck by the southe rails and they were then forced into the tunnel together. so, the main focus now is why the south western service failed to stop at the red light signal. initial evidence indicates the south western train driver applied the brakes as it approached the junction and the red signal but the train was unable to stop before passing the signal. this evidence also suggests the most likely cause of this was wheel slide and almost certainly the result of low adhesion between the train wheels and the track. we are continuing to pursue this line of investigation amongst a number of others. the driver of the south western train is still in hospital. his injuries are not thought to be as serious as first feared. but today's findings also suggest he did try to stop the train. the weather had been poor and with it being autumn there were leaves on the line making it slippery. although brazil is backing the deforestation deal, tree clearance has soared to a 12 year high under president bolsonaro. it
